Abstract(in English) Mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) systems are attractive candidates for next generation mobile data communication systems. This paper discusses results of the MBWA system field trial with Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (FLASH-OFDM). Field trial results show that the downlink throughput performance is significantly impaired by inter-sector interference. To clarify the reasons of the impairment, we carry out a computer simulation on inter-sector interference reduction capability of frequency hopping orthogonal frequency division multiple access (FH-OFDMA), which is used as a multiple access scheme in FLASH-OFDM. The results summarizes as follows. (1) The interference reduction capability of FH-OFDMA is almost the same as that of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA), which can allocate the same frequency band to all sectors. (2) In FH-OFDMA, a long hopping-pattern length yields no site diversity effect to reduce inter-sector interference. Additionally, cumulative distribution of measured signal to noise and interference ratio (SNIR) shows that pilot signals in the neighboring sectors mainly impair the throughput performance. Since a sectored cell layout is mandatory for deployment of the MBWA systems in a high traffic area, inter-sector interference reduction is a key issue for the systems.
